I really don't care much about the way he interacts with Trump or SHS, I expect an adversarial role, but the way he continued on while his colleagues were trying to do their jobs was wrong.
100% agree.
Quote:As for the physical contact thing, it's bullshit. She made contact first as she went to grab the mic away, he went to push her away, immediately stopped and said "excuse me, ma'am." This is what came from the head of the White House Correspondence Association who was sitting next to Acosta.
Eh, here I don't agree so much. I don't think the "encounter" was as bad as portrayed by the WH, but, as I said earlier, anytime a man gets into a physical confrontation with a woman, however minor, he's not generally going to come out of it looking good.
Quote:This is nothing more than the White House trying to find any reason to get Acosta out of the briefing room.
Agreed, and he handed them an opportunity on a silver platter.
